(require '[cats.monad.either :as either])

(either/right 1)
;; => #<Right [1]>

(either/left 1)
;; => #<Left [1]>

The Either monad implementation and helper functions
for working with either related types.

Also commonly known as Error monad.

    (require '[cats.monad.either :as either])

    (either/right 1)
    ;; => #<Right [1]>

    (either/left 1)
    ;; => #<Left [1]>

The Exception monad.

Also known as Try monad, popularized by Scala.

It represents a computation that may either result
in an exception or return a successfully computed
value. Is very similar to Either monad, but is
semantically different.

It consists in two types: Success and Failure. The
Success type is a simple wrapper like Right of Either
monad. But the Failure type is slightly different
from Left, because it is forced to wrap an instance
of Throwable (or Error in cljs).

The most common use case of this monad is for wrap
third party libraries that uses standard Exception
based error handling. In normal circumstances you
should use Either instead.

The types defined for Exception monad (Success and
Failure) also implementes the clojure IDeref interface
which facilitates libraries developing using monadic
composition without forcing a user of that library
to use or understand monads.

That is because when you will dereference the
failure instance, it will reraise the containing
exception.

The Identity Monad.

(require '[cats.monad.maybe :as maybe])

(maybe/just 1)
;; => #<Just [1]>

The Maybe monad implementation and helpers functions
for working with maybe related types.

    (require '[cats.monad.maybe :as maybe])

    (maybe/just 1)
    ;; => #<Just [1]>
